Method Detail

• handle

  public abstract void handle(AnnotationValues<T> annotation,
            com.sun.tools.javac.tree.JCTree.JCAnnotation ast,
            JavacNode annotationNode)

  Called when an annotation is found that is likely to match the annotation you're interested in. Be aware that you'll be called for ANY annotation node in the source that looks like a match. There is, for example, no guarantee that the annotation node belongs to a method, even if you set your TargetType in the annotation to methods only.

  Parameters:

  annotation - The actual annotation - use this object to retrieve the annotation parameters.

  ast - The javac AST node representing the annotation.

  annotationNode - The Lombok AST wrapper around the 'ast' parameter. You can use this object to travel back up the chain (something javac AST can't do) to the parent of the annotation, as well as access useful methods such as generating warnings or errors focused on the annotation.

• getAnnotationHandledByThisHandler

  public Class<T> getAnnotationHandledByThisHandler()

  This handler is a handler for the given annotation; you don't normally need to override this class as the annotation type is extracted from your extends EclipseAnnotationHandler<AnnotationTypeHere> signature.
